1. The of ca rl' in ("hartl'rs to clubs and that dubs meet the requirements of the constitution as to their dutic" Also a tn he drawn between chartered dubs which are working f ai t hfu lly awl more social duhs.

I I. Uniform Constitutions stating very clearly t e duties of club officers O f course lubs m ust be given freedom to meet their various local conditions as they deem best, but their duties and obligations t o the national o rganization should most certainly be definitely set before t hem in a uniform club constitution .

III. U niform rules fo r collecting the alumnre ta x and a de fi nite report as to how it is being di tributed . T he clu should be who lly r esponsible to the provina vice-presiden t fo r the payment of t h eir national dues Much confusion has r esulted from this matter, sin ce often the club treasurer wo ul d end the dues d irec tly to t he Grand T reasurer , and t hus the P rovince ree r d of th em. r w/)ukt h ave no

The report of the Gr[l.T!<1 Pn: sidetlt, which covers the work of three year!', must of necessity deal with the bro:lll trend of ("vents and policies rather thnn with the minute working out of the same. Dd:lih can be found in the Y3riou:, reports and wllich h:lVC appe:1retl in the secret issue of THl': ARROW. Every mcmb;>r of Pi Beta Phi realizeu at Evanston in 1912, as perhaps never before, the of our fraternity, and the nec.:!ssity for inl.:rng\ I'1rganization W:1S impressed upon the Cr:mo Council.

The plan has been successful, (or while complex machinery is undesirable :mel unwieldy, twellly·li",: \ ·omen C:1n more surely put into eliect and de\'rJop certain phases of dl::J.pter life and growth than c:m li\ e women, ancl especially docs this tend to guard too radical changt!s of policy nil along the line upon tIle ekclioll to office of new members of the Granel Count:il.

The w ork of the Extension Committee has been heavy but a number of ap plications h ave been from colleges below the standar d set by t he f ratern i t y , so t hat they could not bE: c on sidered.

The work of the Grand Vice-President is dividcd betwecn the active and alumna:: departments of the fraternity_ In addition to the ,luties regularly devolving upon a member of the Grand Council, the Vicc-Prcsiuent has visited three chaptcrs, installed one chapler, served as delegate for th..: fraternity at three meetings of the National Pan-H cllenic Congress, ilnd al50 sen'ccl as delegate to the conference of men's and women's fraternities held in Chicago in May. 11)13 The main duty of the office. however, is to stimul:tte and develop the alumn:c intere<;ts of the fraternity.

The plan for the department, adopted at the Evanston convention, has been put intn Though the cievelopment has been slow, definite results have been obt.1incd which arc gratifying-. The plnn c.:ommend" itself (or the promi!;c it givr.s of :l more thorough organi7.::Ition of our alumna:-.

The (otal amount received from the t a x for th e year 1914- 15. was $ 483.5° a n d fo r the yea r 19 14 - 'S w a $658.

The inauguration of the alumn rc tax together- w ith the advanc in the price o f our magazine may account for th ' decrease in alumna:: subscrip tion. S ince a ll members initiated <;inrp 1<)0 e ips{1 facto life sub criLer to T HE ARROW, t he burden of increasing the subscripti.ons among those i nitiated prior to [ 908 rests with our alumn::e cl u b and alumnre officers.

Immediately after thE:: Evan. tOD oDvention, the editor Inad a pilgrimage (0 Mena.::ha, \Vi COD in, to vi it the p ubli hing hou e of (h George Banta Pobli hing Co., which bad publi<hed THE t ROW for severnl years. This visit was made at the personal invitation of Mr. Banta but the immedi te cause of it \Va the nece s ity of making a new contract with the firm. The ld co nt ract based on 3.000 copies had been found inadellU:lte in Augu I, 1911 about the time that Mr s Thie. s re signed her editor hip, but it had b en agreed best to po s tpone the making of ;'l new one until after the Evan-Hon Convention This visit t Menasha "as f great value to the editnr bt:cau he had an 11Portonity to become acqo:linted at first h:md with the various processe:. f magazine making which were s ub seq uently delight fully de c ribed for ARROW reader by Mr . Banta him se lf in an . rtide entitled "The Making of THE ARROW. "

In the cou!'se of!l' ing thp nf'W contract. it was deemed best to change the s t yle of paper used in TUE AI'hOW to one which would admit uf the printing f cots with th e text, thus doing away with the for making inserts This was done only after much correspond nc e with the Gr:lnd Pre c;iden t and the Grand Treasurer, after circumstances seemed to warrant the hange

The Grane! Treasurer had now commenc d work on the divi$ion of fraternity finances into budgets In this cour se of he r inve<,tig lions, she mad an important discovery, viz., that THE A RIlO W had b een published at a loss (or several year s and that at the current rate f income and expen.e t he nga ' i n w ould inevitably meet financial disa:ter in a shor t period o f years unless _ orne dra'tic change was made at nce.

The rand Treasurer brought the matter 10 the attention of TUE ARROW Editor wh o spen t man y w eeks searching in THE ARRO "V archives for bills , invoices, etc., comparing them with reports of subscription income furnished by th e archiv c; of (h Granel Treasurer n Grand Vic nt.

D uring 1913-14 the larger part of the time devoted to business managemen t was connected with th e adve rtising pro blem Th e f raterni t y It'gis lated man y years ago that each chapte r baving its pict u r e published in T ru ARROW sho ul d farnish 6ve dollar worth of adve r tising to cover the expen e of th e same

Very few chapters complied with this ruling and the annual elCpenditare of over $200 for t hi one feature alone witho ut sny in c r ease of incom llad a se r ious drai n on THE ARROW r sources. T hen too the r ates o f ad v r ti si n g in vogue when a smaller editio n was published ha d never chan.ge d so that those who adverti ed with u were receiving a larger retarn for their money than conditions warranted. It seemed imperative therefore to revise the rale and conditions of adverti ing

You r editor did this only after she ha made a careful l a dy of tbe problem, bad con sulted wit h r ep r e entatlves of other frate rlli ti es wh o kn e w ab out the advert isin g problem and h ad in t r viewe tw o adv e rtjsing ex p erts, one in Chicago and one in New York As a r esult , a reg ul ar advertising rate ca r d was issued and all old patron were notified of the cbatlge in pri ce All o f them renewed their adve rtising without protest, save one an d he also renewed at the ne w r ates. afte r a l ittle deJa)' opies o f this new rate card with explanation of conditions were ent to all hap t en and al u mnre cl ubs with the r eq ue st tha t each one cooper a te i n a campa ig n to ecure more advertising. Th e response or rather the l ack 0 f re spon se w a discoura ging Pew ever ans we r ed the appeal at all and most a ctive c hap te r s p referred to pay cash for the pu b lication of their chapte r p ho tographs rat h e r th an t o tte m pt to sec u r e adve rtising A t present thi feature of THE R RO W i s ecidedly weak h ilt other jonrnnl c; c arry several page s more adverti sing than we do and rh editor feels that with proper cooperation TH E ARR OW oul d excell them i n this particular . The best sol ut ion of the problem would seem to be th e appointment o f an energetic advertising agent wh o coul de vote un li m it ed ti me and energ-y to t h e work.

Th e pub lication o f illu s trations has been a matte r diffic u lt 10 h andJe s ince the increased cost of engraving and printing makes them expensive a d the advertising f und whi c h was originally planned t o finance Ihi m ost attr ac tive fea t u re o f th journal ha s long proved inade q uate This u b ject has been dis ·ussed i n b o th of the ann u al inf o rmatio n n umber s of T HE A RR OW, so it is o nly ne ces sa ry to state here aga i n tba t the li mit a tion of pi ctures i s governe d by nece s sary l imitations of xpen se and th a t th e d i tor has been greatl y gratified during the pa . t year at the numbe r of chapters, clu bs an d in di vi duals who hay cooperated financially in order tu make possible the publication o f c ertain illu 'trations .

EDITORIAl.

It'rom the above it will be seen that the clerical duties of the al umnre editor lue exacting. The editorial side of her office is two-fold: t.he personals; the cluh reports.

A. PUsOIlat...' :-In her report to the Swarthmore Convelltion, Mrs Theiss says «The department of personals is at present the weakest feature in THF. ARROW. You will realize how weak it is when 1 tell you that futty one·half of the personals in each issue the editor has collected from the newspapers." In the June 1910 ARHow there were 370 separate items. In the number for December 1914 there were i32. (There are several more chapters, of course). The only reason that thert' nre only 141 items in June, 1915 is because the war has increased the cust of paper and all other printing m<ltcrial so that only the must vital matters can ht:: given place. When the charge of the personal department was (irst intrllsted to the present writer during her Ilrs! term of office, Mrs. Theiss hart her write to clubs for news. This secures datI of a very worth while sort concerning older women. The secretary 0 f the Los Angeles club sent in 67 items last [all. It has been a sore trial to your editor not to be able to develop this department as she h:I<J ho pe d Ellen in its reduced state it still compares not so unfavorably with other magnines. For example, Kappa Alpha Tire/a. May 1915, contains 273 items and the Alpha Phi Qunrfuly for June gives 275. After the Evanston Convention the Editor, under whom nnd with whom it hflS been the keene:;t dr.light to n'nrk, expressed 10 the editor her wish that the personal items be grouped according to engagements, marriages, deaths n.nu rniscellaneous. The details of arrangement .'\nri weTe left to the present writer. After a few times, correspondents "c;lUg-hl-on" snd CO[}y came in in goud sh::pe. There seemed to be much gratification in the new arrangemen t.

In sending in personals rdating to marriagc, the new address as well as the old should be given so that THE ARHOW may reach the bride. The alumnre editor wishes to make all changes after each isslle Lut can not do so if one of these addresses i" omitted. The formula should be: "at the borne of the bride's in Des Moines etc. At home ---."

For some time the writer has wished that the secretary of a club in the college town and the chapter secretary could get together to prepare the items for THE ARROW. In one case, a chapter sent in 5 items and the club 26, two of which were d uplicntes. A suggested plan along this line will be found on pages 291 and 3<)2, Tlu: AR;WW for March, 1<)14 '"

B. Club Reports: Tn her report to the last convention the present writer stated that fifteen days after they were due 24 out of 48 clubs had not sent in the annual report. Only 37 were represented in THE AIUWW for June (gl2. ln the June 1915 number 6[ dubs appear out of a possible 06. In the -first year of the present editorial policy the names of club officers were placed at the head of each report; and each ye:l.r since, the effort has been to make the reports more practical and helpful and to arrange them in a readable and pleasing form. Statistics provocative of thought have appeared the last two ye:trs. Each year :l Questionnaire is sent each secretary. A. copy of the one for the last Dumber is appended. (Table C).

This editorial work has kept the editor in close touch with club life all over the cnuntry. The correspondence resulting is heavy but delightful. 'fany times she has received a letter beginning "\Ve are organizing a club. Tell us everything we should know and do Please reply before Satnrday

·Now and then an alumna takes pains to send to the editor news she ginned. The re peated klDdness of MNI. Harry K. Pattyson. New York A. hu nrel'l much appreciated.

since we have our next meeting then." And the repl y has always been sen t. Your alumDre editor ha been very glad of her year of practical club work in New York : knowing from experience exactly what a ecre ta ry should do is l!'xcellen t preparation for assisting other ecretarie On of the greatest difficulties and hindrances in club developmen .. is the lack of interest, narrowness of view and Iazines of club secretaries A ecretary cannot do her work properly without TIlE A RROW.

PROVINCE PRE.IDENT

To the rand ouncil of Pi Beta Phi , AI ha Province resi en t submits th e following report:

It is pleasant to be ble to report that in general t e condition in th e pro vin ce are excellent considering both int ernal nnd external trength ' VillI two exceptions th e chapter. act as units, so firmly welded together is each one, su harmonious is the atmosphere, so common are the in terests, 0 congenial are the ta tes) and so loyal i the spirit. In the ca e of the two exc;!ptions absolut uni ty is a minus quantity for radically different reasons. In the one th r is a deplorable lack of force , in th e other t here is loo much force of the w rong kind . I t mus t not be thought from this however that either gives c. ause for grave alarm but rather for watchful care .

E xternall y the chapters have all gnined strength , again wi th two exceptions, for all but these two had a w onderful! successful rushing season, an in the keen competition with rivals Pi Beta Phi led comi tentIy. Considering it too from other viewpoints than that of r ushing, Pi Beta hi has [orged teadily ahead becau e of th e all-roundness of her girl bccnuse of their in the classroom their dignity on the campus, their stabilit, in th e coJ)et!e life, and their keen participation in its activities . E a ch chapter, now, through its systematic coaching of its n e w girl cloe ' much to develop the apparent talents and t bring out th e latent one s , guiding and (lirecting the ..,.irls in1.) the path be - t suited to them , g i ving ou tside interest · to the girl s that h3\' 1: non, nnd curbing the effervescence of the girl that have too many , so that each and every girl ay give to the college :lnd its Life the best she has, and so that she ma y receive from her four years of college the best i t has to give. I n doing th is systematically the chapters are performing a very real service, for the helpful mingling with friends , the congenial as sociations with t asks or pur uits, and th e pleasant companionship with books make a profitable and h appy combination, and if well babnr d it produces the well -rounded worn n, colleg graduate !: houle! be.

The rep ort of th e Scholarship ommi ttee last yellr that put Alpha Pr ovince in third place was a ditinct shock to the pre s ident, whose province had for several year led all the provinces in th e numb er of Phi Bet:l. Kappas and the colleg honors that were won The report arrived most opportunely in t he midst of the r ovince Hou e, Party and the ) spread to e very chapter, and , it is hoped, produ c ed some de s irable ,erious discu sions w ere held among the del gates at once anu ways :mcl means for improvemen t wer e ugge<;ted, so that durjng the whol yea r e:lch haptc r has i creased "ts gilance along this line. In one chapter the marks for the week w re read at every f raternity m eeting, one girl f r om each class reporting for her year , the grade . with0ut th names and at th e end of the semester the Jlamu to o , of delinquents were read.

The multiplicity of oeiaI event on the university calendar make all deans of women unh3PPY and so c.1 i [urbs tu den t that they !'ometime lose their perspective and forget the purpo e for which they go to college and for which colleges are es t abli hed and maintained Chapter which are limiting their exclu ive soc ial life and entering larg ly into the general social life of the school a re to be congratulated on tbe help they are giving towards the solution of the many, ided fraternity problem. Better Pan-Hellenic conditions will Ie "'en the. ocial rivalry mainly re oponsible for excessi ve soc ial activity. In some schools there are now In terfr atc.rnity Council consi ting u f r presentatives from men's and women's fraternities , which are trying t o regulate social life. No cooperation among '1omen only will remedy existing social evi l s in !'chool-or oul. In one of the smaller colleges, th e preside-nt him self ha taken he matter in hand and reg ul3t ed the numb r of parties In another simila r school, the dea n of the faculty ays that so long as the fr :lternit ie Ii e up to th e college rule, th ey shall be permitted to tgulate thei own fraternity activities In our brge r schonl , T r\() no t think that much more warning will be given u s

The financial side of the fraternity needs attention One ean of women objected to (he national fraterniti 5 becau e of the burdens th ey imposed upon the girls We have seen our expen es growing from year to year in the national work as well as in the chapters Ap pea l ' are made to the college g i rls by h er fraternity for innumer a.b le things-all good in t hemc;elves nnd benefici al to her.

Some colleges tr y to re !> ist these movements, but surely in ain Fraterni ty women should feel at home an d should be leaders in them T he election of Pi Dcta Phis to their office seems to me the highest honor th a t can come to them, aside from the scholarshi p honor, and I do not know hat i t should be second to that. College officials are turning to the se organiz.ations for help in t heir perplexities , admitting that acial life C.1n be r egulated, and c ribbing, espec i ally, eliminated , only by the tu dents themsel ve s ,

REPORT OF ALPHA PROVINCE VICE- P RE I D ' NT

Alpha rovince Vic e-President s ub ,its the following report to th e t wentyt hird National Convention of Pi Beta Phi Province V ic e-P r esidents were created a t the E va nston Convention in 19[2 and may b considered the young es t members of 1 e Pi Beta Phi family.

The year 1912-13 was one of "w atchful waiting", wondering wha t w houl d be doing and worrying becau s we were not doing it. ince the n our duties have been s omewhat changed and enlarged upon and at the pre s ent li me they are thus defined i n the Constitution : ( ee Stat ute lII , Sectio n [4)

Real work began in August, 1913 w i th the arrival of the card ir.de x eo t y the Grand i ce- P resid ent. This inrlex was very much oul of dat nnd it required many hours f close and 'areful work to mak e the ne cessary orr ections and additions. T his wa s done by referring t the general catalog ue of 1 91 J, l h' chapter le tters of 1912 , ARROW personals and the A RROW maili ng list Th ere wa s als much correspondence done in onnectio D with i t. Wb en I received th e card index for Alpha Province there \V ere between five and six hundred ards in it, some of whi ch di n ot belong in it and many of which were incorr ect. Ther are no w 1,200 This index is no w kept up to date through the active chapter secretaries , ::dumn re clu secretaries RROW per onals and through t he cooperation of the Provine V ice-Presidents who exchange cards when ::dumn::e move from one province to another W e al 0 have the rlnixies" fr om the postoffices when ARROWS cannot be deli eree at the addresse" on the wr apper!' bec;J,use of incorrect address or removal. These and changes of address sent t o the Alumnre Edito r bv sub scribers he in turn sends to one of the P r ovince Vi ce-P re sidents and she them and ends th em to th e oth er P rovl ce Vice-Pre iden ts. Thi s has become my plea ant duty once each year.

Ou r alumnre mu t deal, and f e l strongly, that they are a very important and e ential factor in promoting the welfare of Pi Pbi-they must recognize their re ponsib:lity and re pond to the call that are made upon tbeir loya l ty and in tere I. I realize tha t we have very many strong alumnre clubs, and very many devoted alamnre workers and I am not undervalu ing what tbey have done, but we mu t have all our alumna:: just as enlhu ia tic, and feeling that they are just as mu ch a part of our fraternity a th ey were in the day of their college activity, if we are to build a really effic ;ent alumnre department . And let me add also-we must create thi s en thu ia m i n the active chapter for whereve r a girl ha been brimful of Pi Phi spirit in college it is the excepLion to meet ber in the world as a lukewarm Pi Phi . I h a c found in my ow-n pro tha t numbers are not always necessary t o build a good club. I have i n mind an org:l.Oization of less than a members (The Toledo, Ohio, club) which is brimful of enthusiasm and has been instrumental in forming a Pan-Hellenic Association in the city in which i t exist Clubs should be organized wherever there i a sufficient number ,f Pi Phis, isolated Pi Phis should be urged to join nearby clubs even i f they cennot atten d every m eeting, and very or ganization sh u ld exert its power tl) the u tmost to draw in as many alumme as possible .

RF. PO RT OF DE LT_\. VICE·PRESIDENT

Delta Province Viee·Presi<\cn t submits to the twenty-third biennial convenlion the repl)Tt:

In N'()vclIlber 1')13 she was appoiulcd to fill the \-.'lcancy brought about by the marriage and removal to Epsilon Province of Margaret Ross (Mrs. Melville .McEldowney). Her work (\tiring the p:lst mnllths' term of office has bL:I'1l the fol\llwing" lines : ([) to the Grand Vice· President :tlld Editor, (2) To make out, revise and keep up to date :l complete card of h er province nlumn_:I!, (3) 10 assist the J:ditor with province mailing tist for and contributions to TIle ARROW, (4) to the old clubs along lines of new KaLional requirement,; anJ to help charter new clubs, (5) to direct the T1rOvinC'l! in their alumna! inter(6) to keep in touch with the intimate local work of c"'cry club in Delta Fl'ovi nee :md to them when needed.

At the time of htr appointment, a circular to arouse interest nnd cxphin nquirements 0 { the rww X.1tinll:1.1 A lumM\: was prepared by the oilicers for lIistribution a.mong the alumllx. In Delta Province four hundred :Jnd tell of these were !':ent out to club secretaries, to all isolated alumna:\ and to all alumna: in t(]WIlS wh e re there "('cmcd prospect of lit:lrting a nelv club. Tlle 'ie circulars were fol!owed hy letter,; of inquiry in an effort to become heifer acquainted with the loc a l sitU:ltioll. In Janu:uy, nt the request of the Alumna: Edilor, an informal report of the fourteen clubs prepared from the response!:' of club to these letters. Two WCL'b before the copy for fhe June ARROW was clue, every secret3ry recei\'ed a letter renlindin her Df the nnd also reqllestinlt a compldc list "f paiJ IlWllbcr5, their ch:lpters, a(\dresses and (!:ltc of AJ:f:O\\' subscriplion

At the beginning of her term, Delta Province Vice-PresidL'nt found out of the nineteen clubs unchartered. hut with wcll-cstablishc(i local tradition.;; const!qu'mlly these did not forsee the advantages of joining the national assoeil tion . .\ t [hi! prescnt date all but o ne of Illi number have bec ome chartereci thnmgh the persoud e fforts of the Grand Vice - Pre ident, Mr s Lardner, and the steady correspondence of Delta Prmrlnce Vi ce - President.

Along the li1le of ne\v clubs there has been 11 decided growth. Early in [914 the long anticipated Missouri r installation took place, whereby 3 large number of local alumnre were initiated into the fr a ternity. These alumna: possessed a s trong a nd harmoni o lls working basis through their of chartt::r Activity, thus givin g an start for national work. The presence of the Grand Vice-l'resident nnd Province Vice-Presidf'ot at the time of installation lhem personal directions and ('xplanations for their {latore ",'ork in the new national s.sSO'-.:ialinn.

In order that the hitherto i alated distric of the province might have a few ce nters for national i ntert t, pecial letters were ritten t o ell-known alumna! in fourteen town which the 191 1 catalogue contained a numbe r of \Vithin two months a1\ had responded and by Founders' Day , there were celebrations held in Davenport, Iowa, Sioux City , l oa, and Topeka, }{an., for the pur-po e of rousing local intere t towards c.bar tering in the national organization. A year later, the alumnre at Fayetteville, Ar k., at the instigation of a T e a .A alumnre, decided to act upon the Do me ron suggestions o f tbe province ice-president ; and S(I ardent was their zeal that t h y not only r eceived a harter by F ou nders' Day , but al s o aw that an center became established at Little Rock . Snggestions are i n order th a t th e ne w prov in ce vic -president take up the t hread of c o r re pondenc al ready b egun with the aiumnre at Wichita, Manhattan, Kan. , C dar Rapid, O ttumwa , l a ., York and Falls City , Neb Thi pa t year also b ro ught about, nt thei r own r ('quest, the withdrawal of the Lo ui siana A. alumnre fro m T HE A RR OW direc t ory, since th eir club was mere ly for soc i al p u r pose in aid in g the loca l chapter and desired no national obligation It i " expe ted. however , that the enthusia s m of the splendid young delegation of the active chapter a t this convention will se rve to revive tl interest of the N ew Or le an s alum n re i nto ac tu al working power

The most detailed task of the province is in keeping th card cataloC'ue up t d a te Since Delta Provin ce has ver thirteen h undred alumna! with twelve hapter and n ineteen cluhs, the work o f b ringing u p to date the information collected by M rs Lardner an d R os s ME ldowney, was a mo s t arduou s under t ak ing.

The is n brief llecount of what !he fraternity has d on e tJlUS far through her represcntIltivcs. ] t is rc<.:ogni zeci that It is only a beg,inning. It is recognlud, also, that in the b e ginn i ng r e liltS app ear in proportion to the efforts put forth than durilng later p e riods of work.

It is Ilroper, ther'efore, to 'con s ider what ste ps should be taken 10, insure the perni:n.nc[lcy and grolVth 01 !he S c h ool. Thus far, as ha s been state d , the' Fufemily has delegat.ed the re!'>po n s ib ilily to a single alu mna! dub, nnd the club h a s in turn d ele g ated this responsibility 10 a com mi tt ee Thi se rved well en ough as a tem p or ry m easur e a nd a ff or d e d lime for trial and expl! rimcot while -eaTching for omethi ng be tte r.

There is another important matter wnich should receive the consideration of this Convention, \-iz ., the que lion f t h e financial support of the school. Thu s f ar, t he l iberality of Alumna:: Clubs and indiviual alumnre have been ver y gratifying. Here, again , th enth u siasm of a new work bas doubtle'is bee n an important factor in its succe"s . W hi le it is hoped tha t thi athu ias"ll c an be k ep t alive and incr eAsed, still it is onl y logica l to assume t hat with time it may grow less ardent . It i s on ly proper to tate, also, t hat the kindling of this enthusiasm and the conversion of it into financial ' u pport h r eqllired no mall efTort. Thousands of circulars and letters t o clubs and i ndividual Pi Phis have been en t out. gi ving infor m ation o f the work of t he school and m aking appeals for it support I nnamerable letters, acknow le dging r eceipts of indi vidual remittances, while a pleasan t t ask, have und u l y c onsumed v aluable time A an c pedient of the f' nrly d ys of t he schoo l, t bis method has serve its purpose well , but it is too prodigal of labor t v be made permanen t. If, as has bee n assumed, the responsibility for the work and the s uccess o f the cho o l rests on all alike, t he n the financial s u ppo rt sh ould c o me f rom all alike ; and if th is be true, the logical method o f obt.aining t his support would seem t o be th rough the impo ;tion o f a per capita tax on the members , or i f deemed preferable , a ! ::I X 0 th e alu m n re cl ubs.

This is an i mportant m atter and o ne which t he C ODvention is a l one competen t t o solve. W ith t he genera l di r ection and the local m anagemen t f the ch oo l pe r m anent ly fixed an d i t nanc ial su pport :lr ranged in orne such ma n n e r as outl ;ned above , it is believ d tha t the Conventio n will have discharged it obligations and that th ere should be li ttle reason f or f e ar as to the permanency and fu ture success f th e sch ool.

Some of the chapters responrkJ to the slIggestion with gratifying results, and it is with pl.:asure I report th:ll Ohio A, which has held the record of hnving the highest average for the past three years, can bO:lst of having e\'cry member on the IJONOR ROLL.

Some of the other ch:l11ters are well represented. In some cases no exira questions were :.mJ, in others, the percclltnge on the required questions wus not suffICiellt to warrant putting a girl on the JIONOR ROLL, as it was decided that :\ r:l nk of 9S!]{' at be attained on the rcC]u:rcd questions before one could be considered eligible tn the ROLL.

I subjoin the of the ;;,:-irls frum the various chapters on the HONOR ROLL.

t hink th other members of th committee \ ill agree with me when I sa y t h at this year s papers perhaps the mos t i nterest·og set o f answe r s we r eceived, and , in some ca es, an a toni bing f lln d f i n fo rmation n n girl " - eemed to know everything!' according to he r examiner.

I f a ll the upperclass girls could read the an" en to Que tinn I. I th in ' t h e y wou ld 3pprec iate more th an perhaps some do , the need of walking carfully before the fre hmen who e yes are upon them. Many w ere the reasons gi ve n f or joinin g P i Beta Phi, but th fine character of the upperclass girl w as o fte n mphasized

I quote from a few apers :

O ne t hing hich i nfluenced me was the fact tha t n R 4> was no! mere ly a se lfi h i nstitution, existing narrowly for its own pleasure and intere ts, but living f or t he elp and betterment o f its o w members and f or other peop l e, as in tanced i n the L o a n Fund Graduate Fellow hip and elt) ment School.

Tbe girls of n B <f> seemed to have the th i n s most des ired. congeniality. ympath y w ith I)ne another , and loyalty both to t be f ra t rnity and the university They were k ind and courteous to me at all times and made me under.tand they wanted m e to join them, b ut did n o t wear me ou t by t heir ru bing , and did not make rash promise.! which ne v er could h ave been kept.

They s h owed tru sportsman hip in their rushing. and were always true t o t he spirit o f P a n H Ilenic rule. ·ever go iped about rh·al. but elCpresse d prais e aDd genuine admira t io n f or t hem

I ( t he e fresh m en liv up t o t h e ideals the y as t o atta i nmen t of high schol a r shi p a n d maintenance of a high social standard , w n cd h av e no fear fo r the future of ou r chapters.

The acti ve girls appea r to f u Iy appreciate ou r fine rn agnzin , (o r , a o ne p u t it, " T H E A RROW is one more connecting link whic binds us all toge th e r in tha t i mpregnable circle of P i hidom ." All conceded the advantage o f a large a.lum n s u b c riptio n, an d one paper said , "Onl y as t he f raternity w o rk s as a who l e , only as t he units c op er ate t o r ea liz e th p ur poses and i dt:als o f the o rg an izat ion i s i n t ernal h armony and s t rengt h assured and e xterna l p r e s ti ge fostered "

Th e in fo r mation about t he S ettlemen t , ch oo l w s, i n mo s t c ases , compl ete and ac cu ra te , and some t im s very f u ll. orne of t he girls who w rote at grea t lengt h expres ed thei( interest in the and said t ha t _ me ay they boped t o b of service there , if they were needed

The following i s quoted as being e pecia lly goo rl:

Many urged the disctlssion of topic of study a.long fraternity lines , the con ider tion of local que tions, always in a kindly way.

We ltould d' cu s how to help tb chapter. ami during tb week we should follow out what is talked of in the meeting, which might wdl become: t.he outline of our college work for the week.

Frc bmen be required to give bon palters on some question of interest to the fraternity, one freshman presenting a paper at each meeting, dealin& with such questions as high scholar hip, extension, impre ions of rushin g, etc., which will giv tbe upper la. s girl an id ea as to tbe aid they m!ly be able to furnish alon those lines.

The fraternity meetillg i the melting po t for the fraternity girl' idea. In it be is to learn tact, executive ability, courtesy in a very broad en e. Respon ibility j!! learned here, if never hefore. ignity in procedure i cultivated.

The following concrete subjects for di cussion \vere giveu by one gi rl:

1. How to make the meeting ore valuable.

2 Relation of girls to confraternity people

3 Idea s on better ru shing (with pecial uggestiolls from girls just entering P i Pbj)

4 How to rai e for the chapter bo u e and t he Seulement School.

5. How to better schoJafbhip.

6 How to get girls interested in college activitie

7 Some vital issue to arouse intere t of girls in things that really count

On the whole the opinions expressed favored the ex.aminatioD along the present lines , and some good suggestions as to future que tions were brought o ut.

The Pi Phi seniors, i n discus iog the t opic, "College women and socia l standards," showed that they had read THE ARROW which treated on th i s subject, and regi tered thei r intention to r eRect credit on the ( rat rnil y b y thei r high oeial standards. j\iIany papers mentioned the need for care in tbis time o f a c tive a nti fr aternity legislation.

I n the discussion of the relation between tbe active chapters an d th ei r patronesses, t he need for thoughtfulness n the part of the gi rl ' was b r ought out. New York mentioned their u tom of calling upo n thei r patr on esses acc ordi ng to a regular schedul , which e abled all the girl to kcep in to uch "jlh th ese wome n who do so much for the cha.pter

THE ARRO[V OF PI BETA PHI

I venture to make the following recommendations and suggestions for the consideration of the new Examination Committee:

J. A nc\v (Iuiz, bascu Oll ollr new hi s tory.

2. TIl:s (] ui I.. to be sen t to th e c hapt e rs in sufflcien t q uan ti ty so Ihnt each girl may have a copy, or perhaps a few copies only be sent to the chapters, an d other copies held for sale to i nd i v-id llal membe rs 0 ( chapters and clubs.

3. Chapters to be to hav e .'1.1 least monthly of some one topic of (raternity interest, per h aps conducted by the Alumme Advisory Committee.

4. Possible adwtntoJ:,:c of two examinations during the year, one one in the fall for the UIJperc!ass g-:rls, and onc in the spring fur lhe whole chapter.

S. Possible of a examination for a girl joining II n '.II in htr sellior

6. Examinations to be concluded by a member of the Advisory CDmmittee of t'ach chapter.

7. \Vherevt:r advisahle, the e:xaminati011 to be held in a classroom, bllt at any ratc in some place where it will be possible for those taking the examination to do so under proper conditions. I n some of the <:hapter room.;, lack of space and ;1ccommodalions make proper conditions difficult.

S. There should he one membtT of the commi ttce for c.:l.ch province, except thai Epsilon and Zeta Prm·jnel's, while no larger than at present, might be comhined.

9. A(lI'is:tbilily of continuing' the of the bst three years in askin:,! the of the vD.riolls provinces for suggcstions :lS to qnestirms.

10. Pos';ible atlv21lla g- e in having the papers lonkeJ over and roughly by the memb e r of the Advisory Conllr.ittee laking- charge of thl! examinntioll, before forwarding to the EX3.miner for the chapter. This would obviate entire l os s of grade f o r the ch:iplcr wh n' an entire set of paper:; is in the express, a " in the case of \'erlllOllt B this year.

StIch re\'ic\v of the p a p e r s would lead to gre:tter knowledge of the in the examination and s ubjc c t· thrre trcated than is th!:' now the Advisory Committees, and it would afford an opportunity to call the attention of the chapter to errors, which the expense of returning the papers now make!'> practically impossible.

In conclusion, 1 want to express my pll!:lsure at being to h:lve a share in this import[,nt work of the frat ernity for these three years. It been :\ pleasure to work with s uch a commit-tee as m;nc, in our efforts to have the eX3minati::m make for effi cie ncy amollg' our chapters. If the ''''ork we have done has cOlltribut"rl to this end in any degrt:e, however small, I am sure WI' arc mor e thalJ l"I'p;licl for the efforts put forth.

So we bring- Ollr offering- of cen·ire here to conn'ntion to by it on the altar of Pi Bd:l Phi, with the ft:eli!l;:: that it :111 ullworthy tJle deep love we Ilea r he r.

Th e Loan Fund has been at the di s po a1 of Pi eta Phi for four year , daring which time lhere ha ' been a teady growth in the jotere t shown it hy the un dergraduate members In 1910-1 I, th e fir s t year of its exist e nce, there were tw o application for loans. During the pa t year, there hl've been sixteen reques t · for information and appli c ation bla nks W e were able t l.) ass i s t on l y three of the e sixteen girls and i t is to be greatly r e gn:fted that one on ly r eceived the amoun t h e asked for. The loan were mad'! in Ju l y. Sept e m be r and November. T o assi t the other thirteen a notice w as in serted in T H& ARftow o f C:tptembe r 1912 , that funds were ne e ded, and in November appeal fo r gifts or loan s e re made 10 the sixty alumna! clubs . To the k ee n di sappointmen t of the committee, we received iu am.wer t o the e le tters onl y one note, saying that it was impossible to as ist us at this time.

The qu es tions in the fraternity examination will doubt Ie 5 bring' the f und to th e notice of many anJ h er e s hould b e more appeals f r aid in 191 5 tha n b efore

Th e cau se is a most worthy on e . T he girls whom we be l p are a U w or k · ing th eir way th rough college wholly or in part ; some by working f or their board a nd r oom , or wait ing on table, other by singing, substjtoting i n libraries, givin g r eadings, or doing office wo r k. T hey are oft e n gi rls wh o are s uddenly compelled to be self -supporting , either through the death of a f£other or th ron gh some financial difficulty, or girls who go to college onde rstandin g th a t they mo s t work th eir v ay t hrough

Until (.J ur fund becomes increa ed y repaid loan ' we are sadly in need of -or lo an s irem i ndi vi dual a Ju mnre W e reali z e that the clubs hs,v,e many dem and s upon their t rea s u ries and judging from past exper ienc' we mu s t look else wh e r e for as i t ance

111 oroer to secure a list of de<;ir.:tble ch:1perons your ch;,irman of the Committee on Chaperons h:l!' sent letters of inquiry to secrct:lr!cs of alumna: and to JifTeTl:n t alumna anJ has now the names of several women, SOInC Ilf them I'i Phis, who are qualified and willin):: to accept as chaperons in our (ra tcrni ty hClI\ses. Furthl'r corresponuenc(: with chapters and has cstal>lisLed tlle f[let that compensation for the chaper ons is a of great impIJrt:wcc and an item that be taken into a cco unt by all chapters necding n chaperon. Indeed, the whole question of ch.'lperonagc is (Inc of primary import:1nce and because of its import;JIlCC all alumn re I1r c urg'Nl to cuoperate with members of the CommiUt!c cm Chaperons a nd send to them names of cultured women who are willing to as chaperons. Nothillg' a chapter so much as inter sted alumn re and it is to be hoped that the aiumnx will interest tllemsd\'e es pec ially in this f\ucstion.

In concluding my r ep ort, I wi:;h to express my Jeep appn.:ciation for till' privilege 01 ,en·jlll-: the fraternity for the three years. VOIl will let me say how mud) I hal'e enjoyed wr.rking for the fraternity wh :ch i so dC:If to me, and how mu c h it will still be my piL:asnre to serve Pi Beta Phi in any way that 1 can, or to serve l:haptcr or mt::mber-onc Pi Btla Phi 10 another.
